I remember that we used to have photo competitions and stuff, that was kind of fun. Maybe we could do something similar? Not necessarily a competition, but we could still do a monthly thing here.
I read about something called "Fototriss" in Sweden that a lot of bloggers are participating in. Each month a theme is given, and each participant then uploads three different pictures each relating to the theme. I don't think most people really do it to compete, they just do it as a fun thing.
So, would anyone be up for that? It'd just be fun to be a bit creative together and see the different ways people go about handling the themes. No voting, no competing, just for the fun of it. Anyone interested?

I'd be a dog, a monkey or a bear, or anything but that vain animal, who is so proud of being rational.

Sounds like a wonderful idea! I've been in a real picture-taking mood as of late. Could do some sort of landscape theme or something completely random like people wearing pajamas in public (my half-sister does this, I'm still not quite sure why).

As for the themes, the whole phototriss thingy seems to have been going on for quite some time, so there is a long list of themes on their blog. We could simply be a little naughty and steal their themes. The first theme on their list is "Animals" so, should we make this month's theme animals?
I'll just go ahead and post the first 10 items from the list so that you can see what kind of themes that are on there. (I'd simply post a link to their blog, but everything's in Swedish so that wouldn't work.)

We could make it one picture peer week? I think the idea behind the three pictures is that it'd be a little more of a challenge to take three different pictures on a single theme.
Or...we could make it three pictures, but if someone only has time for one that's ok too? I don't know. We could also make it a monthly thing if you guys prefer that.

As for your themes, I like all of them except "laughter". I can so imagine myself sneaking around, taking pictures of random strangers laughing, just to get a punch in the face or something.

Just to get things going...Our first Phototriss ...event, session, thingy!Theme: Animals
Deadline: July 24th (this week and the next one)
Amount of pictures: 1-3.

Eh, eh? How about that?
Should we make a different thread where we post our pictures? Or should we just do it in this one? I don't know what's best.
Oh and no voting for the "best pictures" or anything like that. I don't want this to become a competition. People should be able to be creative together without it having to be a competition. Life is too full of competitions as it is.
We could make a weekly poster of all the pictures. That way we all collaborate to create something snazzy together!
